Any way to automate this or is raw, one step at a time.
BTW i have CS on the ibook. If EL3 has nothing toautomate, does CS.
RAWShooter Essentials. It's free:

Quite intuitive to use.
RAWShooter Essentials is only available for Windows.
PSE3 does not have much in the way of workflow automation available.
Photoshop CS and Camera Raw 2.4 can handle PEF from both D and DS
bodies, and it can also be automated to batch render large numbers of
files easily. I don't have a Windows system so I cannot say this with
first-hand credibility, but from all I've seen Camera Raw does a
better job of RAW conversion than RSE.
If you want to learn how to do this efficiently, PLEASE go buy and
read Bruce Fraser's "Real World Camera Raw with Photoshop CS". It
will save you a tremendous amount of time.
The update to CS2 is also well worth the money for this sort of
endeavor. The new Bridge companion application does a much more
capable job of automation in the RAW workflow and Camera Raw v3.x has
new, far more capable features than Camera Raw 2.x. My recommendation
is to go for both the upgrade and the second edition of Bruce's book,
"Real World Camera Raw with Photoshop CS2".
I process about 300-400 images a week with this software, mostly
automated up to the final finishing steps, on an iMac G4 20" similar
in performance to your iBook...
